Wrote about the menstrual hygiene crisis in Europe's largest refugee camp, Moria. The women deserve to live with dignity and the dire situation, made worse by gender-based violence, makes it impossible.
Thankful to @womensmediacntr and @FrancesNguyen!

.@Delta It's been 3 days that I've been trying to change my DEL-IAD flight. An error pops up every time in doing so online and your customer service is elusive on call. The option to message customer care is not working since I'm currently in India. How can we resolve this?

“More people have received a Covid booster vaccination in the UK per head of population than are reported to have had their first shot in Africa”
Forget vaccine equity; these boosters are only to do with rich nations boosting pharma pockets.

Antibiotics are not necessary and do not help in most cases of #COVID19 . Abuse of antibiotics will lead to #AMR - which is increasing especially in developing countries

For the first time, the total detected COVID-19 cases has crossed 1,00,000 in a day in India: 1,02,996 cases so far, by my count. (And with #Jharkhand's data still yet to come in)

The minor #Rohingya girl (14yo) who is to be deported back to Myanmar from India today is currently at the Indo-Myanmar border with police officials. She has been there for the last 5-6 hours. None of her relatives nor her parents will be there to recieve her. @PillaiPriy

Today, #India will deport a 14-yr-old #Rohingya girl to #Myanmar, 1st after #coup. Treatment of Rohingya is reminder #India lacks refugee law & exhibits specific animosity to Muslim refugees, when #Covid-19 has worsened a tenuous existence @tarushi_aswani article-14.com/post/the-rohi…

If you paid $14.99 a month for a Zoom Pro membership, you paid more to Zoom than it paid in federal income taxes even as it made $660 million in profits last year – a 4,000 percent increase since 2019. Yes. It's time to end a rigged tax code that benefits the wealthy & powerful.
19 Mar 2021
NEW: Last year, Zoom saw its profits increase by more than 4,000%. The company's federal income taxes? $0.
How? The platform appears to be using the same recipe as well-known corporate tax avoiders Amazon and Netflix. @gardmaf explains.

Here's why I think nothing will happen to Kapil Mishra after that story.
The official handle of the Hindu Ecosystem (37K followers) has QT'ed my tweet to ask more people to join. Such confidence can only be displayed if they know nothing will happen to them.
Zilch.

In a city with a Komal Sharma caught on camera wielding a weapon, they choose to arrest Disha Ravi - from another city - for rallying attention for the farmers.
Why do we pay your salaries, Delhi Police?

You don't have to disagree with farm laws to support the right of farmers to protest peacefully.
You don't have to be anti-govt to be against human rights violations & unconstitutional arrests.
Standing with your people is more patriotic than standing with your politicians..

Since tweets by @rihanna and @miakhalifa are now considered 'external forces' and 'foreign interference', a small reminder... During the first Emergency, the Sangh's main line of dissent was through foreign press, governments, activists, and funding.
A short thread.

Sir, the internet shutdown and prosecutions of journalists have gone way beyond debates on the MSP. They violate the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and article 19 of the ICCPR.

As a member of the Bar, and a human being, I believe that some rights are Universal. And if a black person is being shot dead in the US, or a genocide in Rwanda or speech being silenced in India, it's all our business. As a people.
